Takeshi Murata has been influenced by a history of visual music, animation, and abstraction in film, as well as by a long tradition of reworking this history and recycling its cinematic forms. Yet it takes an artist like him to revisit these traditions through digital tools and at the same time to explore a dystopia of the digital age. Murata’s visions are a nightmare of viral editing in which all material becomes an endless liquefied abstraction of information, seemingly floating in and out of barely recognizable figurations. In fact, no image or figure is ever sustained. Every image is pixilated to its essence of endless morphology, driven by currents of psychic state of minds.
